The time has come to review the current Contributor and Core contributor grants for ZFS. Since all of the ZFS core contributors grants are set to expire on 02-24-2009 we need to renew the members that are still contributing at core contributor levels. We should also add some new members to both Contributor and Core contributor levels. First the current list of Core contributors: Bill

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

I wanted to send out status on the effort to make a version of Solaris install available that supports zfs as a root file system. I''ve got a version of it ready for distribution, but I''d like to test it on the Build 62 community release before I make it available. Without the build 62 community release, I have to test it on a build 61 image, updated with some build 62 packages.

Hi All, I''d like to set up dumping to a file. This file is on a mirrored pool using zfs. It seems that the dump setup doesn''t work with zfs. This worked for both a standard UFS slice and a SVM mirror using zfs. Is there something that I''m doing wrong, or is this not yet supported on ZFS? Note this is Solaris 10 Update 3, but I don''t think that should

I''m looking for a way to backup my entire system, the rpool zfs pool to an external HDD so that it can be recovered in full if the internal HDD fails. Previously with Solaris 10 using UFS I would use ufsdump and ufsrestore, which worked so well, I was very confident with it. Now ZFS doesn''t have an exact replacement of this so I need to find a best practice to replace it.

Assuming in a secure and trusted env, we want to get the maximum transfer speed without the overhead from ssh. Thanks. Fred -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, yesterday evening I tried to upgrade my Ultra 60 to 2009.06 from SXCE snv_98. I can''t use AI Installer because OpenPROM is version 3.27. So I built IPS from source, then created a zpool on a spare drive and installed OS 2006.06 on it To make the disk bootable I used: installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 using the executable from my new

Hello, I have a ZFS filesystem (zpool version 26 on Nexenta CP 3.01) which I''d like to rollback but it''s having an existential crisis. Here''s what I see: root at bambi:/# zfs rollback bambi/faline/userdocs at AutoD-2010-09-28 cannot rollback to ''bambi/faline/userdocs at AutoD-2010-09-28'': more recent snapshots exist use ''-r'' to

Hi There, I looked at the ZFS admin guide in attempt to find a way to leverage ZFS capabilities (storage pool, mirroring, dynamic stripping, etc.) for Xen domU file systems that are not ZFS. Couldn''t find an answer whether ZFS could be used only as a "regular" volume manager to create logical volumes for UFS or even a Linux ext2fs, with ideally, the ability to create

Zpool split is a wonderful feature and it seems to work well, and the choice of which disk got which name was perfect! But there seems to be an odd anomaly (at least with b132) . Started with c0t1d0s0 running b132 (root pool is called rpool) Attached c0t0d0s0 and waited for it to resilver Rebooted from c0t0d0s0 zpool split rpool spool Rebooted from c0t0d0s0, both rpool and spool were mounted

I''ve tried to set up a SAMBA file server that acts completely identical with a Microsoft Windows 2000 or 2003 one. First of all, the problem with the ACI ordering is simple: The Microsoft ACI specification imposes that the DENY ACIs are put on top. It can be solved with a simple chmod. Problem no.2 the Samba NFSv4 ACL module doesn''t interpret owner@, group@, everyone at . While

I have one drive that I''m running OpenSolaris on and a 6-drive RAIDZ. Unfortunately I don''t have another drive to mirror the OS drive, so I was wondering what the best way to back up that drive is. Can I mirror it onto a file on the RAIDZ, or will this cause problems before the array is loaded when booting? What about zfs send and recv to the RAIDZ? -- This message posted from

In the last few days my performance has gone to hell. I''m running: # uname -a SunOS nissan 5.11 snv_150 i86pc i386 i86pc (I''ll upgrade as soon as the desktop hang bug is fixed.) The performance problems seem to be due to excessive I/O on the main disk/pool. The only things I''ve changed recently is that I''ve created and destroyed a snapshot, and I used

<copied from opensolaris-dicuss as this probably belongs here.> I kept on trying to migrate my pool with children (see previous threads) and had the (bad) idea to try the -d option on the receive part. The system reboots immediately. Here is the log in /var/adm/messages Feb 8 16:07:09 amber unix: [ID 836849 kern.notice] Feb 8 16:07:09 amber ^Mpanic[cpu1]/thread=ffffff014ba86e40: Feb 8

Hi all! I need a non-root user to be able to perform zfs snapshots and rollbacks. Does anybody know what privileges that should be specified in /etc/user_attr ? Best regards, Lars-Erik Bj?rk

Back in October/November 2007 when I asked about Sparc zfs boot and root capabilities, I got a reply indicating late December 2007 for a possible release. I was wondering what is the status right now, will this feature make it into build 79? This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, I was just wondering if ZFS root is likely to be an install option any time soon, either in SXCR or the June Solaris update? The mechanism at Tabriz''s blog seem to work well, but it''d be nice to get it out of the box. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/

On Solaris 10 If I install using ZFS root on only one drive is there a way to add another drive as a mirror later? Sorry if this was discussed already. I searched the archives and couldn''t find the answer. Thank you.

I am afraid a search does not get much on this subject, hence this post. Is there a plan for a Nevada build to include zfs root/boot on Sparc architecture? When? This message posted from opensolaris.org
